A POND FULL OF MILK
Once there was a king who told
some of his workers to dig a pond. Once the
pond was dug, the king made an
announcement to his people saying that one
person from each household has
to bring a glass of milk during the night
and pour it into the pond. So,
the pond should be full of milk by the
morning. After receiving the
order, everyone went home.
One man prepared to take the
milk during the night. He thought that since
everyone will bring milk, he
could just hide a glass of water and pour
inside the pond. Because it will
be dark at night, no one will notice. So
he quickly went and poured the
water in the pond and came back. In the
morning, the king came to visit
the pond and to his surprise the pond was
only filled with water! What has
happened is that everyone was thinking
like the other man that "I don't
have to put the milk, someone else will do
it."
Dear friends, when it comes to
help the Religion of Allah, do not think
that others will take care of
it. Rather, it starts from you, if you don't
do it, no one else will do it.
So, change yourself to the way of Allah to
serve Him and that will make the
difference.
